re: #381 Dark_Falcon

True that. But then most gang bangers are American citizens with constitutional rights and thus may not be summarily executed. Foreign terrorists have no such rights, and killing them is an act of war against their organization, not an execution.

You can’t declare war on terrorists. Wars are fought between countries. Executing terrorists is no different than executing gang bangers. We just sanitize it by calling it a war on terror and ignore the “30 or less acceptable collateral” deaths that occur when one of those little hellfire missiles hits its target.

And, as Bush proved, National Security > Constitutional Rights…the constitution is just a piece of paper. Drones are here to stay…you’ve already accepted them.
